i have about 20 dropdowns to be filled in a page and got about 12 diff pages in which i need to fill the same way.

so just to cut short the code

i created a class as below. this class is placed under the app_code and i am trying to call the below class from my code page as PropertyMax.fnFillDropdown(ddlArea, "spGetArea", "AreaId", "Area", "Select Area");

it shows a red line and is not working. any help would be greatly appreciated.
